Actress Bettinna Carlos took to Instagram to remember the child she and husband Mikki Eduardo lost due to miscarriage.
“3 months ago today,” Bettinna said on her photo with Mikki while in the hospital.
Bettinna admitted feeling afraid that they will eventually forget about this child they lost when she eventually bears children again.
“Strangely, I have this fear of forgetting our second child – our unborn one (especially afraid when we have our 3rd and 4th and 5th…) So I had photos developed of that time – those 10 precious days we knew we had him (or her — we’ll only find out in heaven, really).”
She promised to keep an album of everything that will remind her of her child.
“Will album all – ikr so old school. Together with letters, notes, medical results, receipts, and other memorabilia of that time,” she said.
“Today, I remember God’s goodness to give our family that time. That very short time. And for blessing me with a husband who bore (and continues to bear) everything patiently with me. Who’s with me through every step and season. I love you Miguel.”
In February, Bettinna shared that she was pregnant but she eventually lost her child. She also posted a message comforting mothers who had the same experience.
“To all the mothers who have lost their children before they could even hold them, feel them, see them (in the flesh or ultrasound), may you too find peace in this: God’s purposes for the lives of our unborn children were fully fulfilled however long or short they were IN us. Their lives did not go to waste,” Bettinna said.
“Lord, You were so gracious in giving to us and You are still good even in taking away. Thank you for the fresh hope and new joy You gave us even for a very short while.”
